I am using “The life of Fred” and is simply excellent. I didn’t want anything even similar to traditional as ai had many problems in college and university to connect math with the real world, especially relating math with the biology field. I decided from the beginning that math was going to be an applied math curriculum, and The Life of Fred filled all my expectations.
Very Helpful! We are using Beauty and Truth too, and I agree being able to talk about what they learned yesterday and define terms is very helpful for long-term retention and shows that they really understand it, or that they don't and need more review. This is working on their language and comprehension skills too.
Yes I totally agree! It was a huge struggle at first to try to explain mathematical problems in our own words… but becoming easier and easier with practice! It definitely helps with language!
Yay! FINALLY a wonderful review of Beauty and Truth! I’ve been searching and finding very little. I am really drawn to this for my rising 1st grader!! Thank you!
Yes I found the same! So glad you found this video helpful! I plan to make more detailed Beauty and Truth videos in the future, in particular about the scope and sequence of different grade levels.
Thank you for sharing your review and experience with Beauty and Truth Math! This was such a help since I'm strongly considering going with that program this following school year. We had used Strayer-upton for my oldest in 2nd grade but it was a pain for me to implement and plan out on my own, so we went the Saxon route this year for my oldest and Christian Light for my younger 2 kids, and math is not enjoyable this year, so we're optimistic about Beauty and Truth math! I hope you share further videos on how it's working for your family!!
I’m glad you found it helpful! I will definitely make more videos on Beauty & Truth soon! I’m looking forward to starting my youngest this coming year!
Thank you for sharing this review of Beauty and Truth. I would love to see a more in depth review of Beauty and Truth. Anything would be helpful, as there are very few if any videos/reviews on this curriculum. I'm looking to use this with both my girls. I am trying to simplify our homeschool. I'm definitely trying to figure out placement for my girls (12 yr old who struggles with math and a 9 yr old who is beginning to dislike math). Our main curriculum is currently Saxon but we are also using TGTB for a little supplement. I always get hung up on placement. Thank you!
I do plan to make more videos about Beauty and Truth soon! They don’t have placement tests, but they do have a scope and sequence on their website, if you look at each level’s description. I will share a video about this as well!
@@littlebitsofbliss Thank you! I look forward to this video.
Thanks for the video. Enjoyed seeing the Beauty and Truth part. I live in NZ, and after a charlotte mason math curriculum. Was deciding between SCM and them. Cost is the deciding factor, so was good to see how it looks. The sample are good on website, but hard to read with 'sample' splashed acrossed.
I would say both SCM and Beauty & Truth are very comparable! Shipping is very expensive if you are outside of the U.S, so the downloadable option of beauty and truth is great!
Can you reference the podcast you mentioned? I’d like to listen
I listen to so many podcasts! Lol. I will try to find out which one it is and mention it here!
I’m sorry, but I can’t seem to find which podcasts I was referencing. I think it maybe be a blend of podcasts and Alveary community videos for members. I have a journal for quotes I like from the books I’ve read, but maybe I add podcasts quotes too so I can keep track! Lol
This is what turned me off to the CM method in the first place. The emphasis on fluff. I don't blame Mason. It's the plethora of moms with young kids, complaining when math stops being cute and starts to get real.
I taught in a Classical Charter school, 2nd grade through 6th grade math. I just graduated my High Schooler from Homeschool.
The point of math is to train the part of the brain Literature, etc, doesn't reach.
For a whole brain education, you need math. Kids these days are lacking in critical thinking skills.
Math detaches the emotional aspect and gets you to think differently.
Save the fluff for the other subjects.
Yes! Good thing Charlotte Mason also hated fluff! No need for work pages and long lists to memorize that don’t teach a child to love learning and become a lifelong learner. Charlotte Mason math is anything but fluff! 😊
